Pyramid of vision
The visual pyramid , also known as the visual cone , is the geometric-optical term in painting that transports three - dimensionality two - dimensionally into an image space by means of perspective . It serves as an auxiliary construction for the illusion of depth on the projection surface and is important for creating such an image. From the picture (imaginary) finite - theoretically even infinite - perspective lines lead to the image points, with each cross section of the visual axis between the visual axis and the eye forming a visual pyramid. The top of theThe pyramid is therefore in the eye, and the perspective on the picture forms the base with its individual pixels. This depicts a visual process.
The Italian Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) introduced the term into Renaissance art in his art theoretical treatise De Pictura 1435/1436 . The considerations flowed into painting and had an impact not only during the early Renaissance , but also many centuries afterwards.
According to Jacques Lacan (1901–1981), the visual pyramid is “localized” or “systematized space”. The vanishing point should correspond to the eye point ; what is represented should be constructed in such a way that it is centered on the sighted and projected onto the horizon .
